For some time I've been thinking of implementing a system where members of a forum can become a 'Site Supporter' by way of making a contribution such as an Annual or Quarterly subscription and receive acknowledgement for doing so.
Having searched for a mod that could acomplish this I found the 'Sponsoring Members Mod' by MarcelG and used this as the basis to my 'Site Supporter Mod'

The functionality of the mod is reasonably simple and is in Four parts:
  • (1) The base code - 'Sponsoring Members Mod' by MarcelG
  • (2) The 'Site Supporter' add-on in topic.asp to show whether or not a member is a 'Site Supporter'
  • (3) An add-on to show an expiration date to a member's subscription which will also determine if the above shows in the mini-profile, or not
  • (4) Modifications to members.asp to add two additional columns to show if a member is a Site Supporter, whether Annual or Quarterly, and also the expiration date of the member's subscription
Enjoy: 'Site Supporter Mod' by Webbo wink
Edit: The mod is now available with MarcelG's Sponsor Mod integrated into it:
http://www.snitzbitz.com/mods/details.asp?Version=All&mid=284


Disclaimer: This mod is offered with no guarantees, and offered 'as is'
It has been tested on a MySql database, please back up all files before making any changes smile
Notes: If changing a member from 'Annual' or 'Quarterly' to 'None' in their profile, a date must still be entered in 'Supporter End Date:'
This has the advantage of showing that a member once supported and a suggested date is the date their subscription ran out


Enjoy [^]

Thanks Etymon and Marcel smile
I have now integrated Marcel's 'Sponsor Mod' and the 'Site Supporters Mod' as one and Carefree has repackaged it for me
It has now been released as 'Site Supporter Mod ver1.1' and can be downloaded from SnitzBitz:

There was an error in the code.
_______________________________________________________________
Step 5b : Setting/Updating the M_SPONSORLEVEL, M_SPONSORDATE

Find this: (around line 1552) find this:

strSql = strSql & ", M_LEVEL = " & cLng("0" & Request.Form("Level"))

Paste this code right below it.
'---------- Site Supporter Mod

strSql = strSql & ", M_SPONSORLEVEL = " & cLng("0" & Request.Form("Sponsorlevel"))

strSql = strSql & ", M_SPONSORDATE = " & DatetoStr(cDate(Request.Form("Sponsordate")))
'---------- end Site Supporter Mod

_______________________________________________________________
The parts in red must be removed or errors in formatting will result when making changes to the profile that do NOT change already specified sponsor information.

The line should read:

strSql = strSql & ", M_SPONSORDATE = " & DatetoStr(Request.Form("Sponsordate"))

The readme.htm, the SiteSupporter 12.rtf, the pop_profile.asp & the zip file contents have been updated in SnitzBitz. <

I've found a small bug in the code that affects the optional "slev = " function

In topic.asp this line (about 131) remove this line:

sLev = rsTopic("M_SPONSORLEVEL")
It doesn't perform any function and was left in when the mod was merged with MarcelG's

Edit: The Zip files in SnitzBitz have been updated<

Can someone point me in the direction of how to add an automatic notification by either PM or Email when a member's Site Support is about to run out

eg: Check to see if member is a Site Supporter when visiting board and if so check expiry date and if equal to or less than 30days from expiration send Email or PM inviting them to renew

It sounds simple enough but i can't seem to get my head around it

Thanks

In the modified "inc_header.asp"
Code:

Look for the following lines:

	'	########## Sponsor Mod ##########
	strSql = "SELECT M_NAME, M_SPONSORLEVEL, M_SPONSORDATE"
	strSql = strSql & " FROM " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS "
	strSql = strSql & " WHERE M_NAME= '" & ChkString(strDBNTUserName, "SQLString") & "'"
	strSql = strSql & " AND M_SPONSORDATE > '" & DatetoStr(strForumTimeAdjust) & "'"
	set rsSponsor = my_Conn.Execute (strSql)
	if rsSponsor.EOF or rsSponsor.BOF then
		sLev = 0
	else
		sLev = rsSponsor("M_SPONSORLEVEL")
	end if
	rsSponsor.close
	set rsSponsor = nothing
	'	######## Sponsor Mod End ########


Change those to say:

	'	########## Sponsor Mod ##########
	strSql = "SELECT M_NAME, M_SPONSORLEVEL, M_SPONSORDATE"
	strSql = strSql & " FROM " & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS "
	strSql = strSql & " WHERE M_NAME= '" & ChkString(strDBNTUserName, "SQLString") & "'"
	strSql = strSql & " AND M_SPONSORDATE > '" & DatetoStr(strForumTimeAdjust) & "'"
	set rsSponsor = my_Conn.Execute (strSql)
	if rsSponsor.EOF or rsSponsor.BOF then
		sLev = 0
	else
		sLev = rsSponsor("M_SPONSORLEVEL")
		SponsorDate = rsSponsor("M_SPONSORDATE")
		if SponsorDate <= DatetoStr(DateAdd("d",-30,strForumTimeAdjust)) then
			'	Send PM or EM
			%>
			<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_sponsor_renew.asp" -->
			<%
		end if
	end if
	rsSponsor.close
	set rsSponsor = nothing
	'	######## Sponsor Mod End ########
Then make a "inc_sponsor_renew.asp" page to handle the check if PMs are allowed, use PM if so; else send EMail.

Looks good Carefree but what would you have in the inc_sponsor_renew.asp file?

I haven't tested this and there may be errors in the syntax, my head hurts and it's hard to concentrate. Give it a try and if you have errors, I'll try and fix later.
Code:

<%
if strPMStatus="1" then 
	'	PMs allowed, send PM
	set rsAdmin=Nothing
	strSql = "INSERT INTO " & strTablePrefix & "PM (M_SUBJECT, M_FROM, M_TO, M_SENT, M_MESSAGE, M_MAIL, M_READ, M_OUTBOX) VALUES ("
	strSql = strSql & "'" & strForumTitle & "&" Sponsor Renewal "'"
	strSql = strSql & ", " & intAdminMemberID
	strSql = strSql & ", " & MEMBERID
	strSql = strSql & ", '" & DateToStr(strForumTimeAdjust) & "'"
	strMessage = strMessage & ", '"You have previously chosen to become a forum sponsor.  The sponsorship period "'"
	if SponsorDate <= DatetoStr(strForumTimeAdjust) then
		strMessage = strMessage & "'"will expire on: "'"
	else
		strMessage = strMessage & "'"expired on: "'"
	end if
	strMessage = strMessage & "'" & SponsorDate & "'"&".  " & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
	strMessage = strMessage & "'"You can extend your sponsorship of "" & strForumTitle & " within "<a href=""& strForumURL & pop_profile.asp?mode=edit>"your profile."</a>"'" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
	strSql = strSql & strMessage 
	strSql = strSql & ", " & TF
	strSql = strSql & ", " & "0"
	set rsPM=my_Conn.Execute(strSql)
else
	'	PMs not allowed, send EM
	strRecipientsName = chkString(rsKey("M_NAME"),"SQLString")
	strRecipients = chkString(rsKey("M_EMAIL"),"SQLString")
	strFrom = strSender
	strFromName = strForumTitle
	strSubject = strForumTitle & " Sponsor Renewal "
	strMessage = "Hello " & chkString(rsKey("M_NAME"),"SQLString") & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
	strMessage = strMessage & "You received this message from " & strForumTitle & ".  You have previously chosen to become a forum sponsor." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
	strMessage = strMessage & "The sponsorship period  "
	if SponsorDate <= DatetoStr(strForumTimeAdjust) then
		strMessage = "will expire on: "
	else
		strMessage = "expired on: "
	end if
	strMessage = strMessage & SponsorDate & ".  " & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
	strMessage = strMessage & "You can extend your sponsorship of " & strForumTitle & " within "<a href="""& strForumURL & "& pop_profile.asp?mode=edit>""your profile.</a>" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
	Response.Write	"strRecipientsName = " & strRecipientsName & "<br>"
	Response.Write	"strRecipients = " & strRecipients & "<br>"
	Response.Write	"strFrom = " & strFrom & "<br>"
	Response.Write	"strFromName = " & strFromName & "<br>"
	Response.Write	"strsubject = " & strsubject & "<br><br>"
	Response.Write	"strMessage = " & strMessage & "<br><br>"
	%>
	<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_mail.asp" -->
	<%
end if
%>
